Report: Pedestrian walked into truck’s path

A pedestrian who was fatally struck by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 5 Thursday night has been identified as Carlos Alberto Sabio, 37, of San Diego, the Medical Examiner’s Office said Friday.

The crash occurred on the right shoulder of the northbound freeway near the Sixth Avenue overpass about 6:40 p.m., authorities said. Sabio was reportedly walking backward, facing oncoming traffic, when the semi truck approached. Sabio held up his arms and then stepped in front of the truck. He died at the scene.
